Third Party Candidates Help Trump

Gary Bauer, AMERICAN VALUES

Barring some unpredictable development, the November election will be a choice between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Libertarian Gary Johnson and perhaps a center-right spoiler candidate in some states.

A new NBC News tracking poll finds Clinton leading Trump 48% to 44%. But when you factor in third-party candidates, the dynamics change significantly.

Offering voters the choice of Libertarian and Green Party candidates results in Trump leading with 40%, Clinton at 39%, Libertarian Johnson at 9% and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 4%. If voters are given a generic choice of “Other,” the results are Trump 39%, Clinton 36% and “Other” 22%.

There is talk of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) being the spoiler candidate. As you may know, Graham first adamantly opposed Trump. Then he seemingly came to grips with Trump as the GOP nominee, but is now withdrawing his support.

  1. Based on the terrible but predictable mass murder event at a crowded homosexual bar in Orlando Florida late last night, there is now a fourth party affecting the coming presidential election in this country. That party is ISIS, and its dreadful presence will help Trump win the November election as few other factors could accomplish.

    For a long time now, Trump has been warning of the need to block Moslems from entering the United States, at least until some specific and trustworthy means can be used to screen out Moslems who pose a risk against the national security of this country and its citizens.

    Many, many Americans will be taking Mr Trump’s warnings seriously. And insofar as I am aware, no other candidate has ever discussed what is obviously becoming the need for stringent border control measures.

    if it were up to me all the board and owners of these corps would be executed. These US corporations have bought the pols for years for shipping out the jobs and firing US workers at home. I would nationalize their assets and distribute the shares to their workers after executing them. This is the GOP and dem establishment who made this happen… a crime against the american people.

  3. The problem is that if no candidate has a majority in the electoral college,, the house of representatives decide the fate of the election. We know the house is controlled by Republicans. However, will those Republican vote for Trump even though he has a plurality or will they pick one of the Republican “insiders?”
